Also part of patent process is usual original rejection of the Patent in an action by the authority. Occasionally that is pro forma, to wait and see if anything comes up, or there are any challenges, because in the interim the text has been published for any to view. More often than not, the examiners request changes and clarification of description or claims. There is a response by the prospective patenter and another action by authority, back and forth, formally declared and recorded. The opportunity presents for examiner to call to attention prior art that applicant may not have been aware and resulting amendment of Claims pursuant to the further disclosure, to stay in line fully with the rightful novelty. The entire process is conducted with the utmost decorum and many times takes several years.
